You're probably right, I never put that together, but it would explain that thousand yard stare and lack of intelligence.

Roads would be built just like they are now ... through federal gasoline taxes.
The Military could be funded from tariffs on imported goods.
In a truly free society, there is no room for a bureaucratic mess like the IRS. They are WAY too intrusive into the lives of the citizens. In a truly free society, it is none of the government's business how much money the citizen makes, how they make it, or how they spend it, as long as they do not violate the rights of another citizen in the process.
Most of you guys make a big deal out of the Patriot Act and how its destroying liberty in this country, and yet, most of you are blind to the Marxist entitiy that is the IRS. The fact that the IRS has been in existence for all of your lives is no reason not to question what it is.

Yeah, Hitler was big into physical fitness too. Sorry Garden Knowm....I get it that we Americans are too fat, and I am NOT accusing your support of the President's fitness program as fascist sympathies.
I guess that I just need to say that one good idea isn't enough. Yeah, the President is fit and I think that IS an internal issue we have to deal with, but no, George W Bush can never be mistaken for someone with your best interest at heart. No, our defense is never a justification of our subjugation of the rest of the world. No. No. No. NO.
I like what GWB did for taxes. Believe it or not, I'm actually an upper middle class, 6 figure salaried white guy. But man, as that, I need to see that some guy representing me isn't pissing the rest of the world off. I need to know that if need be, someone is going to help us, because if you think Regan got us into debt...there are some irrefutable numbers in all of King George's reforms that will knock us off that Super Power status...This isn't liberal propaganda, this is math. China will eat us alive and George is handing us to them.
Really, I do hate Ultra-liberal hippy ass munches just as much as anybody, but man, we are losing this fight. And when it comes down to the felt, we are gonna lose. This isn't belief in America, it's just watching the world turn, and seeing history forcast our fate...
I hope I'm wrong, but if it comes down to violence and you take George W's side, we won't be friendly.

Yeah, fitness is important but not necessary for a leader, look at Winston Churchill, great leader in my opinion and he smoked cigars and was overweight...I think it is all about the individuals perception of reality..."The only thing we have to fear is fear it self..." Can anybody come out with the Bush quote that reflects his perception?

Well, outside of the ass munch hippy statement (I was a hippy ,in the 60-70s) Kinda, Had money in the bank I kept for emergencies, I thought, for a rich white guy, you had admirable traits. At least you see the asshole for what he is doing, granted you only mentioned the monetary side of the equation, maybe with a little more reading you'll began to see the loss of humanity that also prefaces Dubyas legacy. It is heart warming to know all rich white guys are not total asses like VI. welcome to the arena. The question is: are you willing to give up your tax cuts to bring fiscal responsibility back to the country. BTW. I doubt there is a violent bone in GK, He is one whom floats above the fray, only occasionally dipping his wick.

China will have there day, there is only so long they can hold 533 billion US dollars out of circulation and keep us afloat, when we fall they fall. If OPEC ever decides to price oil by the barrel in euro's you will see the EU become the world power and Chinas economy as well as ours bottom out.

The radar dish must have fallen on your head instead of garden known's.
1. China's projected move to the number #1 ECONOMIC POWER is a based on forecasting, not fact.
2. The argument: "..there is only so long they can hold 533 billion US dollars out of circulation and keep us afloat, when we fall they fall." is invalid. Buying currency and holding debt are two different things.
3. Dependency on oil is not a strength. The US out consumes the EU at least at a ratio of 2 to 1. Oil is pegged to the US dollar because the US is the biggest single market. Changing currency as a benchmark does not change the wealth a country or economic union creates but changes that which is DRAINED out of an economy in relative terms. The purpose behind changing the benchmark from the US dollar to the Euro would be to gain greater profit for OPEC.
4. World power has always meant a single country having dominating power over the world. While I recognize that you and time may change the definition to include an economic union, this time has not come.
5. Pass the weed, your shit is better than mine!

China is way more focused on taking over than we are of not letting them. They are using their corporate profit to bolster their military, who really knows how many nukes they have. They are building nuclear subs as fast as they can, would you like 20-50 Chinese nuclear armed subs patrolling 50 miles off our costlines, who would really hold the power then. It is apparent that neither country really gives a shit about their citizens, so then let the power games proceed.The radar dish must have fallen on your head instead of garden known's.

1. China's projected move to the number #1 ECONOMIC POWER is a based on forecasting, not fact.
This statement proves that your second point is incorrect.
China can not move to an economic #1 if the US is 93% of their exports.
2. The argument: "..there is only so long they can hold 533 billion US dollars out of circulation and keep us afloat, when we fall they fall." is invalid. Buying currency and holding debt are two different things.
Yes but if the US dollar takes even more of a down turn the 533 billion they have is worth less, and hence they are worth less. They are holding our dollars to boost our economy and keep the value of their currency down.
3. Dependency on oil is not a strength. The US out consumes the EU at least at a ratio of 2 to 1. Oil is pegged to the US dollar because the US is the biggest single market. Changing currency as a benchmark does not change the wealth a country or economic union creates but changes that which is DRAINED out of an economy in relative terms. The purpose behind changing the benchmark from the US dollar to the Euro would be to gain greater profit for OPEC.
And again while the US dollar drops in value OPEC has more of a reason to switch to the strongest currency. And we all know that OPEC is a for profit alliance. In fact our dependence on oil makes us the most vulnerable economy in the world.
4. World power has always meant a single country having dominating power over the world. While I recognize that you and time may change the definition to include an economic union, this time has not come.
Right now the EU has a collective GDP higher than both the US and China. In case you haven't noticed Europe is becoming much like the United States of America with a central government dictating what local governments can and should do. Citizens of the EU can travel amongst member nations without papers and work in those nations without establishing citizenship. There is now 1 very strong currency. The time is now don't fool yourself.
